Job update time! Today was my first day as Larian Studios' new Storytelling Lead! It's wild to be back in an office fulltime for the first time in more than a decade -- and in another country to boot -- but it's wonderful to find community so far from home.

Today is one of those days that makes you realize all though we can be separated by entire continents. But because Amazon's cloud tech is so far-reaching, we are actually very connected. The outage is affecting my day job, the website I use to stream my podcast, and social media apps all at one time

Consume Me is one of the must-plays of this year, just wonderful. Hard to capture in still images how charming the art is in every single moment.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”
1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

Absolum fuses the Hades style rogeike with beat ‘em ups and its spectacular. A gorgeous and heartful game that finds some surprising ways to shake up the formula. Easily one of the best best ‘em ups ever made, and I think the most compelling “Hades-like”we’ve seen. www.inverse.com/gaming/absol...
'Absolum' Is The Perfect Chaser To 'Hades 2'
'Absolum' ambitiously combined the roguelike with the beat 'em up, and the unique concoction is a phenomenal success.

As someone who's been a Digimon fan since I was a kid watching the original show on Fox Kids and followed it through my entire life, it is so awesome to see such enthusiasm for Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Also, don't sleep on the new anime. Digimon: Beatbreak, either.

Editors, another big month of games coming up, and wouldn't you know, I've got a fresh round of bills. As always, I'm actively looking for extra work, and would love to help out with reviews or ancillary coverage. Partner has been very sick for the last month, and I'm trying to pick up the slack.
